" Thank you so much for your lovely review Tricia. It was wonderful to see your father’s craftsmanship in the chair that he made - and to see it given a new lease of life. The fabric was an excellent choice. Thanks so much for coming along. "

Gillian Brayshaw reviewed: Private Tuition Upholstery

"I wanted to learn about the wood working aspect of furniture restoration. I have two cane chairs and wanted to understand how to renovate, prepare and finish them off before re caning. Katie was really accommodating with my request so booked a 1-2-1. I am pretty local but hadn’t been to Spode Works before. Katie is really enthusiastic about her craft and obviously knows her stuff. She made the session enjoyable and came away with everything I wanted to learn to start my creative journey. I really enjoyed meeting Katie and would highly recommend her as a teacher and therefore will be attending some more courses in the future. I will be keeping in touch as I feel I’ve met a kindred spirit I can learn from."

Meticulous Restoration responded:

" Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was great hosting you in the studio and I'm very glad you got all you needed from the session in to work on your two beautiful, bent wood chairs. I had a lovely morning and it would be fab to see you again working on more pieces in the workshop. "

SandraK reviewed: 'Bring Your Own Project' Day - Upholstery

"What a fabulous day - great setting, everything you need as a beginner to upholster a chair. And most of all Katie’s patience and manner is just lovely so felt truly supported and proud of what I achieved. Don’t underestimate the amount of time it takes to just take staples out - that is at least half the day for us. And bring a light lunch so you don’t need to pop out and can keep going if you’re short of time. Fabulous day thank toh "

Meticulous Restoration responded:

" Thank you so much for your review Sandra! It was a pleasure to host you in the studio and I'm so glad that you enjoyed the day and felt supported through the processes. Thank you for your kind & helpful feedback."

Jennifer Hudson reviewed: Upholster a hand-made footstool with Meticulous

"Probably the most effective course for anyone interested in beginning upholstery, or like me, dabbled a little over the years, but the finished results were never very good. This course ironed out all those issues, learning how important the correct tools were and how to use them, and getting a more professional finish. Katie is an understated gifted lady and she spends time allowing you to work at your own pace. I enjoyed it so much I’m booking on a further course to do ‘my own project’. Happy lady …"
